Robot harness pushes stroke patients to walk better, faster

NCT ID NCT05110300

Summary

This study tested a special robotic harness system to help people recover walking and balance after a stroke. Patients used a harness on an overhead track that could safely catch them if they fell. Researchers wanted to see if gently pushing people off-balance during practice led to better recovery than just using the harness for support. The trial involved 114 stroke patients during their inpatient rehabilitation.
